MFP's Get Reel stamp set was used here. The image makes for a great masculine card.

Ribbon touches were used to frame all these leaves that were stamped using Gina K Designs leaf and a butterfly stamp from the Birthday Blessings kit, makes for an interesting looking card, don't you think? Some of the leaves as well as the butterfly were attached with pop dots, for a 3D effect.

I had some time to play today and so I created these birthday cards. This first one using a cake image from Gina K., on some of her patterned paper and card stock. Blue and orange for the challenge, STV16MON2

Friday, January 8, 2016

I whipped up two cards yesterday using Gina K stamp sets that were on my desk. This first card used the Hippo Bird Day set by Beth Silaika and the Triple Play Holiday one by Melanie.

This card was made using the stamp set called You've Got Style by Melanie Muenchinger.
I popped up the images and the sentiment with dimensionals, on a piece of patterned paper from the Winter Cheer paper pack, so the card has a little more interest.

Thursday, January 7, 2016

I made this one for a specific friend and I hope she will like it. I used Twine Time by Melanie Muenchinger with the cross stitch stamp from Mel's Triple Play Holiday stamp set for added trim.
I used Gina K's Jelly Green Bean ink to stamp. I fussy cut the spool and the sentiment, and popped up part of it for dimension.

I have two cards to share with you today that I created yesterday. Both used stamp sets from Gina K. Designs and seem to follow a patriotic theme. I embossed the background with Cuttlebug folders and my Vagabond machine for texture!

Monday, January 4, 2016

I made this one, this morning and just now have had time to post it. I made it for the STV16MON1 Challenge using Beth Silaika's stamp set called Hippo Bird Day from Gina K. Design's. I added some Allison's Ribbons that I die cut too. This can be a birthday card or one to celebrate a special event, right?
